Diverging trends of plasticizers (phthalates and non-phthalates)
This was accompanied by their substitution with high molecular weight (HMW) phthalates and non-phthalates. HMW phthalates increased from 19% of the ∑plasticizer concentration to 46% between the mid-2000s and the late 2010s in house dust, and from 50% to 63% in SPM samples.
Eastman 168 SG (Sensitive Grade) Non-Phthalate Plasticizer
Product description Eastman 168 SG non-phthalate plasticizer is an enhanced grade of the industry-leading Eastman 168 non-phthalate plasticizer, specifically targeted at more demanding applications such as medical devices, toys, childcare articles, and food contact applications.
Eastman Plasticizers for Adhesives
Eastman offers a diverse portfolio of non-phthalate, high-solvating plasticizers to help adhesive manufacturers meet performance and regulatory challenges. For example, because they provide the optimal balance of performance and value for water-based adhesives, our Eastman Versafix plasticizer and benzoate-based Benzoflex plasticizers, have become the standard of excellence for the industry.
Eastman introduces high-purity non-phthalate plasticizer
Eastman 168 SG non-phthalate plasticizer is an enhanced grade of the industry-leading Eastman 168 non-phthalate plasticizer. This new plasticizer is specifically targeted for highly sensitive applications such as medical devices, toys, childcare articles and food-contact products.
Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate Plasticizers
Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate Plasticizers) POLYCIZER, MONOCIZER Functional Products Awareness is increasing regarding the environment and the safety of plasticizers and a response is being demanded in raw materials as well.
- What are non phthalate plasticizers?
- DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys. Examples of major applications and representative product numbers of non-phthalate plasticizers are shown below.
- Is velsiflex a phthalate plasticizer?
- Velsiflex is a non-phthalate plasticizer and uses benzoic acid as a key raw material. It is therefore a more environmentally-friendly product versus traditional commodity phthalates that have been linked to human health issues.
- What is a polyurethane plasticizer?
- Plasticizers for polyurethanes are especially designed to have low moisture and a low hydroxyl number to enhance the consistency of the final polyurethane piece or coating. The end result yields higher quality and more reproducible final products.
- Are plasticizers safe?
- Awareness is increasing regarding the environment and the safety of plasticizers and a response is being demanded in raw materials as well. DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys.
- Who makes dibenzoate plasticizers?
- Velsicol is a world-renowned manufacturer of dibenzoate plasticizers and first introduced them in the 1950’s throughout the globe. Velsicol played a key role, as a dibenzoate supplier, in the conversion of phthalate plasticizers to non-phthalate plasticizers.
- What are velsiflex plasticizers?
- Velsiflex plasticizers are high performance plasticizers. They are polar and monomeric in nature. In most cases, they provide superior performance compared to other plasticizers as it relates to polymer compatibility, efficiency and desired softness.
